The rate of failures on the pumps is not very high. IMHO, you'd want to stay away from 09 and 10 models. The later ones are significantly better.
I have 73k miles on my 2011 now and had zero issues. They are very nice cars, also with top safety ratings not only in the US but also Europe. The Golf was still built in Germany as well, including engine and transmission.
I have a speculation on the DPF - I think they don't do so well in short trips / idling. If you have a drive that includes interestate sections on a regular basis, it can do its regen nicely without overcooking components.
